Think of it as a digital solution to an analog problem. Segways P.U.M.A. (Personal Urban Mobility & Accessibility) prototype represents the shift thats needed for the future of transportation. It values less over more; taking up less space, using less energy, produced more efficiently with fewer parts, creating fewer emissions during production and operation, all while offering more enjoyment, productivity, and connectivity. Take a test drive and you quickly understand that this is something completely different. The elegance and maneuverability of dynamic stabilization combined with proven battery, sensing, and controls technologies come together to solve real transportation challenges. This prototype represents only the first step of whats possible in a technology collaboration between Segway and General Motors.See less »
I would love to have one of these! I live just far enough away from my workplace that I have to use my car instead of walking (we won't mention the serious lack of sidewalk either) but it's really a shame to waste all that energy/gas and what not just go so short a distance. This would be perfect!Posted by t_thomass at 5:41 AM on 4/8/09
